These changes are reflected in the following maps: 2.04.3 Pre -Mine Land Use and 2.04.10 -1 Pre -Mine Vegetation. The areas of Irrigated Pasture on the Morgan Prooertv will remain labeled as such The western and eastern portions of the Morgan Property were not historically managed well enough to be considered as IC The western field was not irrigated via sideroll until after Western Fuels and the MOroan'S agreed to a lease, at which point the Morgan's begim better irrigating the westem third of their Prooertv. The San Miguel Power property, east of 2700 Road has been both irrigated and used as dryland in the past. Although San Miguel does not have ditch rights, they have tights sunolied water by--WFC from 3Vffe Cahmity Draw. For this reason, the land has been classified as Irrigated Pasture (IP). There are 5 types of Rangeland - Sagebrush (SG), Sagebrush 1 (SG -1) and Sagebrush 2 (SG -2), Floodplain and Deciduous Trees. Roads (R) are classified as Commercial use and Farmsteads and associated open space disturbances are now classified as Residential use. Existing Disturbed lands have now been called Residential - Open Space Disturbed Areas. No boundaries of these land use areas have been changed, only the classification categories to comply with Rule 1.04. For the 2009 Permit Revision, a slight boundary adjustment due to more accurate surveying has changed the permit boundary from 823.56 acres to 627.44 acres. The changes all occur on the extreme west edge of the permit area on the Morgan property and the WFC property. 4.0 Description of Pre -Mine Land Use Areas See Map 2.04.3 for the exact location of all of these areas.
